A Well Laid Ambush At Google?

By firing James Damore, who apparently had filed a complaint with the
National Labor Relations Board, Google may have created significant
legal jeopardy for itself.

If he had
already filed the complaint when he posted his missive, then it
sounds like he's a very canny fellow who set up an ambush, then
baited the company into charging in to it. It sounds like he had
a pretty good case to start with but now it's just a matter of
the size of the settlement, the trial being simply a formality.

There
should be some kind of award, say the Mastodon, for getting your
adversary to voluntarily jump into a deep pit filled with sharp
sticks.
